A simple CLI tool to kill a process by port This is a simple hobby project made by me to gain some experience in working with rust.
I felt exhaused by using kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:PORT) everytime I wanted to kill a process by port, so I made this tool.

Usage

clone the repo:

sh git clone https://github.com/anudeep652/rust-kill-process.git

sh cd rust-kill-process

sh cargo run -- PORT

Remember to replace PORT with the port number you want to kill

OR

Create an executable to use it locally anywhere after cloning the repo

sh cargo install --path .

Now you can run anywhere in your terminal like this:

sh p-kill PORT

'p-kill' is the executable name, you can change it in Cargo.toml and you need to again create an executable.

Future plans

• Add support for killing process by name
• Add support for killing process by PID
• Add better error handling
